Thinking Out of the Box!

Hi all! It's time for another Impression Obsession challenge and this one had us all thinking a little bit "out of the box!" Our mission was to take a stamp set and use it in a way that was different from what the illustrator intended!

So, here's what I did! I took the Noah's Ark Set (a clear set from Sarah Phelps) and mixed it up with the Make a Wish set (also from Sarah Phelps)......

To create this card!
When I saw these cutie patootie animals, I just knew that I wanted to use them for something other than baby cards! So, I gave them balloons, horns and even a party hat! TOO FUN! I colored them all up with Copic markers, punched them out with a 1-1/4" circle layered them onto a slightly larger circle using fun coordinating decorative paper (DCWV). Add a little ribbon, some paper piercing, some sparkles and a fun Mini Message.... and you're pretty much done!

Since my daughter is 6 and is full swing into birthday party mode - getting invited here and there - I want to make up a bunch of these just to have on hand! Creating them will definitely put a smile on my face!

Want to see what the other IO gals came up with when they thought out of the box?
